    Had a problem with hard shifting and up and down shifting out of the blue while driving on interstate. Ford recommended a trans service. Had it done 3 days before trip to NC. For Christmas. On our way home the truck started a hard back and forth up and down shifting. We pulled off highway and found trans fluid everywhere. I could not find a leak. Called and got a tow the next morning to a ford dealer in Georgia. Found trans was overfilled. Made it home but trans is still shifting hard and goes into neutral while driving down the road. You need to recall all these 10 speed trans. I was quoted 7,000 dollars for an overhaul and told I may still have the same issue sooner than later.

    Last week I traveled from Wichita Kansas to Tulsa Oklahoma. On the way back on the highway. the rear wheels locked up and the transmission began revving up but the vehicle was slowing down. The vehicle then revved down and was still slowing down. I pulled over on the shoulder briefly and then drove to gas station less than a mile away. Left vehicle off and got gas. Drove around parking lot and vehicle seemed fine. We did make it home without any other issues. I saw where your agency is looking into this problem for 2015-2017. It seems to be affecting the 2019 as well

    Transmission had hard shifts, sticking gears and sudden down shifts. Multiple times the vehicle had gotten stuck in 7th gear. Vehicle had hard shift and delayed shifting while accelerating. On one occasion the vehicle suddenly shifted from 4th gear to 2nd while accelerating. Vehicle is currently in shop due to the danger of driving. These issues have almost caused multiple accidents. We are told we need a new transmission and there are only about 72,000 miles on it.

    I have a 2019 f-150 Platinum . Bought it 4 months ago and I've put about 9,000 miles on it and the transmission is going out from what the dealer told me. I bought it from the same dealer that told me what's wrong with it. It shuts off in the middle of changing gears while driving down the road. It's happened 4 times. It's very unsafe. The service department at the dealership said something's going on with the admissions that could cuase it to vaper-lock shut down. They estimated the job to cost eight thousand dollars, which I don't have. It had139,000 when I bought it frome them

    The transmission over revs between 3rd and 4th gear. It hesitates then loses power, then slams into the next gear. Once in 10th gear it hesitates when trying to pass other vehicles. When decending hills it quickly jumps to second gear causing the wheels to skip or bounce for a few seconds. When merging onto the highway the hesitation nearly got me rearended. The transmission shop is updating the software and changing the fluid. He said most of these need rebuilt when this happens. Ford told me its a new type of transmission and that I will "get use to it". Repair or replacement is anywhere from $4,000 to $9,000, yet ford keeps selling this defective product. There are no indicator / warning lights.
